and return it to this....
Corporations and their excess desire for money(greed)have taken over our nation and it embarrassingly and shamefully shows. More and more prominent buildings that once were named for our heros and human leaders are now being named for corporations. Our honor and legacy is being traded for money. Our parks and places of interest are being named for corporations. If the trend continues our schools will be named for corporations and then our streets because a buck can be made for selling out our identity. We are being taught that the corporate entity and the desire for money trumps honor and integrity, morals and principle. Increasingly the outward appearance surely reveals the inward surrender.
This has all been going on since the 1980's when the rightwing took over, when we began to be taught taxation was an overarching evil, when the income gap began it's expansion and when the power of people in the form of effective consumer groups and unions began to decline. It is when we began to sellout to money, but....
There is a capitalism that works. The capitalism of the 50's, 60's and 70's when the rich were taxed well above 50%, schools, sports stadiums and our identity did not have to be sold out and named for corporations and the middleclass and common man prospered, consumed and lifted all of our nation. We became a superpower and we were not afraid of our government because the people more so owned and influenced our government and we had much to be thankful for.
When we cut back the ties of money influence between corporations and our politicians we will have our nation back.
Money should not be equal to speech. Corporations should not be endowed with personhood and Corporations should not be able to contribute unlimited amounts of money to elect anyone they want to rule over all of us. These are the decisions that have been rendered over us the last few years by a government nurtured into place by the servants of money but........
A change is coming people, a change is coming!
